Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (A) between 2nd to 13(3-12)

Explanation:

  • D-block elements are also called transition elements.

  • They are located in periodic table groups 3 to 12, which lie between s-block (groups 1–2) and p-block (groups 13–18).

  • Their distinguishing feature is the filling of d-orbitals.

  • They exhibit typical metallic properties, variable oxidation states, and form colored compounds.

Information Booster:

  • D-block elements include elements like Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn.

  • They are good conductors of heat and electricity.

  • They often form complexes and alloys.

  • D-block elements are mostly hard and have high melting points.

  • They are widely used in industries, electronics, and catalysis.

Additional Knowledge:

  • Option B, C, D are incorrect because d-block elements are not limited to any single group; they span 10 groups (3–12).

  • Group 18 contains noble gases (p-block).

  • Group 8 alone contains only Fe, Ru, Os.
